DAYANNE AND RODRIGO'S
APARTMENT
I'll teach you my tactics
to keep it organized.
What is it?
If you used it,
you put it back or wash it.
It's really annoying
having to do what others want.
You got it, but won't use it? Put it back.
I put it back!
But I get it folded
and return it like this.
But I'll be better.
Do that with your things.
If they are messy,
but in the right place, it's okay.
In the right place.
I think that…. You mean my things, right?
No, I won't make a mess
with your things. Relax.
I think there's a billboard in his head
in capital letters like, "Help me!"
-I'll start with my duties, trash first.
-Very good!
If that's too much…
That I know how to do.
[pops]
Hey!
-To our new home?
-To our new home.
Are you ready?

LUANA AND LISSIO'S
APARTMENT
Oh, my God! So beautiful!
[exclaims] I'm going to cry.
There's no balcony.
I can't smoke on the balcony.
Forget it.
Thiago didn't want me to smoke.
Done, we get an apartment
without a balcony.
I forbid her
to smoke inside our apartment.
There's no room for negotiation.
If she smokes, I'm out.
You have to go down there to smoke.
While you're there,
I'll throw a water bucket on you
so you know I'm watching you.
Smoking is one of our biggest problems.
He has to respect my will too.
Even if I'm wrong or not. It's my will.
[Thiago] How will our life be now?
You'll choose your phone over me.
Love, unpack first.
It will be complicated.
-A lot going on?
-I didn't even look yet.
[Nanda] Ouch!
Cellphones can ruin everything.
Oh, my God!

Come in.
-Excuse me.
-I missed my home!
-You like it?
-It does look like your place.
Yes, it even smells like you.
Look at me, so pretty striking a pose.
I was definitely not ashamed
of telling Hudson who I am.
Now I'm showing him my house,
which is very simple. It's great.
-I thought your mom would be here.
-No, she's working.
-Will I meet her?
-I don't know.
-Of course! You have to.
-Definitely.
If my mom dislikes Hudson,
which I think would be hard,
it will weigh me down.
Now, my room.
[Hudson] The room.
-There has to be a jaguar pattern.
-Pink and jaguars.
-Always jaguars.
-I love jaguars. My cactus.
Very nice getting to see her place.
Next stop, my parents' house.
I'm sure it will be a beautiful moment.
I'm looking forward to it.
[mimics drumroll]
[Shayan] I want to see your house.
[Ana Prado] Welcome to my home!
-So cute!
-My plants aren't here.
-Where are they?
-This is my home.
There were plants here and there.
There were plants everywhere.
-Then you'll have to set them up.
-Exactly.
It hasn't been long since you moved.
It's a very important step
to show him my place,
to show him my things.
It makes Shay understand me more.
My story.
Here is my baby.
Mommy's beautiful girl. Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Mommy and baby girl.
You're both beautiful.
Some friends.
Antonela's room will be here.
Uh-huh.
Her house is very little.
For a mother and a daughter.
You can see the toys.
They'll need to adapt things now with me.
Because the light was too low,
it hit me in the face.
But the house is pretty.
What now? Will you live with me
or will I live with you?
Can we talk about that later on?
-Sure. Or we can see…
-How do you feel about it?
-I don't mind either way.
-You don't mind?
I only care about us being together.
I don't want to make plans just yet.
Because I want you and Antonela
to meet first.
Yes, we need to know each other.
-You need to love each other.
-True.
The love between mother and daughter
is the greatest of all.
So I understand her.
-There are a lot of clothes to wash.
-I have a lot of clothes to wash.
-Me too.
-A lot of clothes!
You know I have a problem with that.
Yeah. You know it will be the two of us.
There won't be anyone else
to organize our stuff, right?
Yes. Okay, we'll find a way.
Shay, honey, I love you.
However, you'll wash your own underwear.
I won't wash underwear! There's no way.
-All right, I'll do it.
-You do it, for God's sake, darling.
I always did it,
since I lived with my parents.
My dad always told me
to wash my own stuff.
Like, I always had two pairs of underwear.
-I'd wash one and wear…
-[music distorts]
-[chuckles] No, I'm just kidding.
-I know.
-I have lots of them.
-Now you said it.
[Shayan laughing]
She was like "What!"
I told her
I lived with two pairs of underwear.
"Why? What's the matter?"
She knows I was kidding.
Underwear is a very intimate thing.
Like a toothbrush.
Is there something that annoys you?
Like day-to-day stuff?
Something you can't stand?
Our living together…
Like, "Don't do it. I'll get mad."
I hope you don't treat me badly.
I'll treat you well, even if I'm mad.
I'll treat you well.
I won't scream at you.
I'll treat you with respect.
I hope you act the same way.
It's the only thing
that could get in the way.
That's all.
I don't like disrespect.
No doubt that if she shouts at me…
It'll be just once
and I'll get out and leave.
For anything else,
looking at you now, I think we're good.
He'll have to put up with me
and I'll have to put up with him.
We'll have to manage our way
into this relationship.
Can you make some notes about your PMS?
When I'm PMS-ing, I am more quiet.
A bit antisocial.
Can I set an alarm for it?
If I'm PMS-ing and you think I'm PMS-ing,
never ask if I'm PMS-ing.
-Oh, God!
-Wait for me to tell you.
Good thing you'll have one
before we marry.
I need to know that person.
What's that? Is it a threat, babe?
Not a threat, on the contrary.
I'm relieved
we'll go through one before marriage.
I usually work on it myself.
Relax.

Anyone home?
-Anyone?
-Hi!
Oh, my God, I'm so nervous.
Don't cry, Mom!
-I'll say hi to them first, okay?
-Of course!
Hi, Son.
-I miss you so much!
-So much!
Good to see you.
On the first look
I helplessly started crying.
My parents too.
I was relieved
with the way they looked at Carol.
I was very pleased with this encounter.
I think it will be great.
Where are you from, Carol?
I live in Itaquera, I'm from São Paulo.
All right. Not very far.
[Novaes] No, nearby.
They are smiling, treating me well.
I was very welcome. I'm feeling at home.
We hope to get along well.
I'm happy.
My son is happy.
It's important that he is happy.
You're so nice. You're beautiful.
We'd do anything for our son.
JESSÉ FERREIRA, 64
HUDSON'S FATHER
We think she's a beautiful Black girl.
Stylish, lovable.
She has a beautiful smile.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Are you ready
for me leaving home for good?
Or not?
Your heart… No crying!
Look at her eyes. Look at them!
We don't raise kids for ourselves.
It's a mix of feelings.
I miss him. I feel emotional.
I want to hold him close.
Like, "Son, be happy!"
I think my mom is worried already.
About having a honeymoon, the sex…
I don't know how she feels.
We didn't do anything.
-No?
-No.
Good. Then she'll think it's all good.
My mom too.
We went there to meet each other.
We had fun, right?
I'm a little worried
that I'll have to leave them.
It's life though.
I'll always be there.
I'll be close.
[phone ringing]
Hi, Mom!
-Hi, Son!
-How's everything?
I miss you a lot, my son.
I miss you too, Mom.
Look here, Nanda.
Look at your daughter-in-law.
-Hi.
-Hi!
-How are you?
-So beautiful!
-Nice meeting you!
-Nice meeting you too.
I want to meet you in person.
-Me too.
-She's beautiful, right, Mom?
Beautiful!
We were very emotional,
missing each other.
I told Nanda my mom always asked me
for a daughter-in-law.
So you're together now,
just you two in there?
MÁRCIA DE JESUS, 69
THIAGO'S MOTHER
If we don't kill each other in 30 days,
we can be together forever.
Yeah.
My mom and Nanda will get along well.
They are both calm, lighthearted people
with lots of love to give.
[upbeat music playing]
-Hey!
-Hello!
Oh, my God, here are my kids!
Hi, how are you?
Nice to meet you. I'm Ana.
How are you?
[Shayan] I have two friends
that live with me
that I consider as my adopted children.
It's been a year and a few months
since they are here in Brazil.
-Come, let's see if you'll like my house.
-Excuse me.
Our living room.
Here's the kitchen.
[Ana Prado] I've never seen a house
where three men live
so well organized and so clean.
They should be congratulated.
Now I need to tell you something.
That me and Ana
are going to live together.
Really?
It'll be just you two now.
We won't live together anymore.
I'll get my things, little by little,
to live with her.
You two need to adapt. To live alone.
-Okay.
-"Okay"?
Okay, then.
What?
No, I'm joking.
We'll live together for a while,
and we'll see how it goes.
We'll see. We'll see. We're engaged now.
We'll see if we get married.
-If we'll put a ring on the right finger.
-Right.
We'll go to Iran with everybody.
Yes, I'm still trying
to learn a few things.
Like the customs.
Are you afraid of your mother-in-law?
-[gasps] No.
-[all laughing]
-[man 1] Be honest.
-It's cool.
I'm actually afraid of his father.
-Oh, my God.
-[all laughing]
Stop, guys! You're making me nervous.
You know, baby,
you chose the wrong person.
-No, of course you chose the right person.
-Well…
I know, my love.
-Did you regret it? Did you?
-No. Not at all. Not at all.

CAROLINA AND HUDSON'S
APARTMENT
Wow!
Right foot first, love.
[gasps] So beautiful!
What a beautiful flat.
We really liked it.
The decoration matches us.
Our home! It's our home, Carolina!
-We talked through a pod.
-Oh, man.
I didn't even know who you were.
And now we're in bed, in our home.
We're feeling at home here.
I'm feeling good
knowing we have a home together.
Hi, Mom! [cries]
Good morning!
I miss you so much!
I miss you too, baby.
I love you! I'll call you later. Bye.
-Let me see my son-in-law.
-"Let me see…" Ended call.
I didn't want to show Hudson.
If he's insecure about that…
I don't think so. It has to be a surprise.
[mellow music playing]
I started the day in shock
when I saw her house, her real life.
But we can have a new start
in our new home,
with everything clean and organized.
Are you hungry?
Very hungry, and it looks delicious.
[Rodrigo] Today I wanted to show Day
a bit of my culture as a Jew.
The types of food,
such as falafel, schnitzel…
-Delicious.
-Try this one after.
This is a falafel. Get one and try it.
I didn't like this one.
I'm very sincere.
I thought it was great.
He was thoughtful
and it makes it all special.
-Let's talk marriage.
-Okay.
What's the problem?
My mom has 16 siblings.
All married. They all have kids.
So how am I supposed to invite one
and not invite the others?
We can do like…
We both don't invite them.
We made a deal.
It isn't a normal marriage
where everyone is invited.
My family is very emotional.
You don't get how much.
He's very practical
and I'm sentimental.
I'm starting to get desperate.
Whoever is there
is going to represent the others.
All our friends. It'll be amazing.
There will be us.
[mock groans]
So amazing!
-Okay, stay calm. Check.
-Yeah.
[phone chiming rapidly]
[continues chiming]
Oh, my God!
What's that? Oh, my goodness.
[phone continues chiming]
What's up?
-My cellphone is overwhelmed too.
-Look at that!
We got our cellphones
and there were tons of messages.
People didn't know where we were.
I saw a bunch of messages
from my patients.
Your patients?
That's all you saw? Patients?
Not a crush?
-I saw some.
-Your former crush, okay?
-Yes, I saw it.
-Former.
The important thing
is that I'm the only one now.
From now on, it's just me.
"I'm with someone else now." [kisses]
"Thanks. Bye!"
I have no problem saying that.
-Me neither--
-I wasn't in love with anyone.
…but it'd take a while.
-No, but…
-Come on, Lissio.
Not replying is an answer.
Do you trust me?
-Not even a little?
-I trust you.
-I do.
-You trust me a little.
-A little, yes.
-A little, please.
From this little to a lot.
I don't want you saying,
"I got a message from this girl."
It's unnecessary
and it would make me uncomfortable.
Yes. Yes. All right.
But I want you to act
according to your conscience.
I will. And you have to trust me.
For now, I'll let him be.
I'll let him be who he is
and I'll observe it.
I expect him to be aware,
to have maturity and reciprocity.
22 DAYS TO THE WEDDINGS
[cellphone ringing]
[Shayan] My mom is calling.
-Momma.
-Ouch, momma-in-law.
Uh-huh, I'm gonna answer it.
Hello.
[Shayan and Shayan's mom speaking Persian]
I picked up, she asked what I was doing.
I said,
"I'm here with your daughter-in-law."
Say, "Salaam, chetori?"
Salaam, chetori?
My heart was pounding… [mimics heartbeat]
[Shayan's mom laughing, speaking Persian]
-Hi.
-She is asking if you are well.
Say, "Khoobam."
Khoobam.
-"To chetori."
-To chetori.
[Shayan's mom replies]
I talked to my mother-in-law a little,
even though
I don't know what she said back.
Shay said it was only good things.
I rather believe him.
-"Dooset daaram."
-Dooset daaram.
[Shayan's mom responding in Persian]
-What did I say?
-You said you love her.
[squeals]
Tell her that her son
is very special to me.
I'll do my best to take care of him.
[speaking Persian]
[Shayan's mom responds]
-She wants to see you.
-Now? We're in bed!
It's not a good idea.
You know? She is a bit conservative.
[speaking Persian]
[in English] I told her we were in bed,
messy hair, you know?
"Send me a photo." I said, "No,
eventually you will meet her."
I want to see
if I'll have space for my clothes.
-Yes, I left a lot of space.
-You did, huh?
-Sneakers, shoes…
-No need, love.
-I'll go shopping. I'll be back.
-All right.
[electropop music playing]
[screaming]
It wasn't long since we saw each other.
Mom is here for your rescue.
[Ana Prado] However,
during this experiment…
[laughs] …it seems like
I've been here for decades.
Take a look.
Oh, my God! A ring!
-[Ana Prado] Ring and all.
-[Ana's mom] Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
I think I'm nervous.
[Ana Prado] It's serious now.
And how is he?
He's an amazing person.
It was crazy what happened between us.
We didn't talk much.
It was like 10 minutes on our first date.
I don't know what happened.
When we talked…
My daughter is fine.
She is radiant, she's happy.
It's not usual.
-It's totally different.
-Fast like that?
Mom, it was…
I don't know how to explain.
If she's happy and fine, we accept it.
It's great.
We'll stand by her, no matter what.
-Hello!
-Hi!
Is this Shay?
Is this your momma?
-Hi. How are you?
-Wow, so tall!
-Nice to meet you. Momma-in-law.
-How are you, Shay? Nice meeting you. Wow.
I told you so.
I saw you already.
She showed me your picture.
-[squeals]
-[laughs]
You two make a beautiful couple.
We were saying that.
By the way,
I'm about to cook something for you.
-Really?
-A Persian kebab.
[gasps]
If I manage to win her over,
the rest of the family is in.
Tell me, what made you come to Brazil?
I met a Brazilian girl
through the internet. Then I came.
[Ana Prado] She asked him
a lot of questions.
She was testing him
to see how he would react.
I know my mom.
Does your family know Ana has a daughter?
We still didn't talk much.
We didn't have a lot of conversation.
We just talked…
What do you think they will think?
My family is very traditional.
But it's a bit different with me.
I talk to them a lot, so…
-I do whatever I want, kind of.
-Yes.
The cultural difference
is what worries me.
I don't know how things are in Iran but…
She's a free woman, a feminist.
Ana Carolina has a very strong will.
-Salamati.
-Salamati.
[Shayan] Right.
[Ana Prado] Mmm.
Good, right?
I admire her.
She has a beautiful marriage and story.
I really like her mom.
I really wish
that my daughters
get to have a great partner.
A great companion.
A love that they are proud of.
And that they want to…
They get to live by.
She really looks up to me and my husband.
And I hope she gets to have that.
I really do.
[upbeat music playing]
Good morning… Good afternoon!
Mom, did you get emotional
thinking about me these days?
A lot, my son. So much.
Did you cry a little?
I did.
Everyone… We all did.
I really want them to be part
of the context I'm living in.
Look, this is Luana.
-Hi!
-Oi.
How are you?
She is the one with the other ring.
I can't even… I'm trembling.
-I think she is more nervous…
-We are too.
She's more nervous than you.
-That's Junior.
-She's crying.
I'm going to cry too.
I think about my mom.
This is not because of jealousy.
It's not about sharing my son.
On the contrary.
It's because
he found someone for the rest of his life.
I loved meeting you.
Oh…
Thank you. I feel the same.
God be with you.
May you add more to our lives!
Amen! To add up, to overflow.
It'll be great, I hope.
[Lissio's sister] Add some babies.
Oh, my God!
Your sister wants nephews and nieces.
We didn't even say I love you.
My sister already wants babies.
All in due time.
But I hope it won't take long.
God be with you.
-God bless.
-Bye, God bless you.
I was thinking…
When I introduce him to my family,
I'm going to cry a lot.
You'll meet him now…
My fiancé.
How are you? Nice meeting you.
[Luana's brother] The first time
I hear her say
she's in love with someone.
He knows I'm picky.
She even has a ring,
saying she's about to marry…
My God!
I did think her brother would be like her.
I was caught off guard,
because we used to say, at least I did,
this girl is never going to marry anyone.
My brother thought I'd never get married
because I didn't introduce anyone
to my family.
This must have shocked him,
because I always dodged this conversation.
-Love you! Kisses.
-Bye, guys.
-Nice meeting you.
-Good luck.
Today is…
getting emotional.
[mellow music playing]
Did you take a shower?
Are you cooking for us? First lunch.
-I don't know if it's lunch or dinner.
-First time cooking for me.
-Need help?
-Do you want to chop the onions?
No, I want to see your… culinary skills.
I don't like cooking,
and having to cook for him…
Not that I didn't cook before,
but not for him.
I'm feeling good,
but I already told him
it'll take hours for a simple risotto.
What can I do to help?
-I'll make it easy for you.
-Do you know how to clean crayfish?
Of course!
I wanted to help out.
I could see she was a little nervous.
A little lost.
I can't cook very well either,
but I think together
we can cook something really good.
You didn't clean the crayfish,
you destroyed it.
I'm helping you, doing you a favor
and you're… complaining.
I'm just saying.
Showing your true self
in our first lunch together.
[Nanda laughs]
All you do is complain.
[Nanda] God damn.
I want him to understand that
a relationship
is not only about good moments.
I am okay showing that part of me,
the bad one.
♪ Home cooking ♪
This risotto is splendid.
I didn't know you could cook.
I know how to cook.
I'll do whatever you want.
It'll take four hours but it'll be good.
[jazz music playing]
[Hudson] We'll have Japanese today.
I'll make it because she likes it.
I know how.
I hope it's surprising for her.
What about your cellphone?
Are you cool with it?
For me it's okay, and you?
I don't know. I'm feeling…
-How was the feeling?
-I think I'm cool now.
But it felt a bit weird, you know?
Did you get any romantic texts?
Baby, we didn't come here
because we were dating.
Hmm.
So, there were girls who texted me.
Are you going to reply?
I'll be polite and tell them
I'm with an amazing woman now.
Like, "You lost, darling."
[upbeat music playing]
[Novaes] I have to say
I don't like cooking.
I'm doing something,
pretending I'm cooking.
Convincing.
I'm helping you organize,
because I won't wash dishes at night.
Help me until I start making them.
The rest is up to me.

When I saw what he did,
I was like "Wow."
"He really knows it."
We barely talked
about how it's going to be after this.
I joked with my mom,
"What if I don't come back home?"
You said that?
My father says, "Are you crazy?
"Getting married in 20 days is a joke."
-That's true.
-My father is…
At least it's not affecting you.
-I know my father.
-So…
The least he could do is ask,
"Are you happy, my daughter?"
That's who I am.
What can they do to change it?
Nothing.
No. We know the relationship
with her father is not the best.
It can, somehow, affect my family.
But that's the price to pay.
Let's see how much I can handle,
between what my parents think
and my love for Carol.
I think my parents will be worried.
Like, "You're married. Now what?"
"Where will you go? What will you do?"
-Yes, your mom…
-Now you saw. My mom can be like that.
After she said goodbye, she said,
"Son, take good care of her."
In her heart, it's like…
It's all settled.
But she'd say something
if I married and stayed at home.
"You're a grown man.
Take care of yourself."
I know things are…
At least in my work field,
it is getting better.
I have my contacts,
people I've worked with,
so I'm not so worried
about not having a job.
I worry, but not much.
It would be a problem for me,
having to pay all the bills alone.
If I didn't see him try hard.
If he woke up late,
or if he didn't send out his CV…
then I'd be worried.
That's why I say we need to be
understanding of where we are.
Oh, Hudson, Hudson…
20 DAYS TO THE WEDDINGS
-Hi! How are you?
-How are you?
Day and I are facing some challenges
regarding living together.
We came up with the idea
of hiring an astrologist.
-I'm Paula.
-Rodrigo.
-Please, come this way.
-Welcome.
-Thank you.
-We set the table for you.
We want to know
if we are compatible or not,
what we can do better, as a couple.
So, I brought this rose quartz,
the love crystal,
-to be with us.
-Ah!
We'll see about potentialities, challenges
which are very important
for us to grow and evolve.
Although it hasn't been long,
I feel that there are conflicts
arising for us both.
And that is upsetting me.
In Aquarius
we have someone who cares about friends.
The guy who goes on a honeymoon
and tells his friends,
"Guys, look where I am."
Amazing! I love it. Exactly.
[Paula] "Let's go, guys!"
And here we have a romantic woman.
It's good to have common sense,
to be social, with friends,
but also checking in on Day.
You know?
He thinks about himself too much
and forgets I am there, forgets to see me.
Regarding feelings,
it's a challenge for Rodrigo…
to open up a bit more.
-That's right.
-I'm bad at that, indeed.
People that know me
think my life is perfect
and that I'm always smiling, happy.
Because I don't always
express my feelings.
Day may feel upset.
Sometimes she'll express it,
sometimes she won't.
There's how communication can fail.
In life I can be very practical,
but not with feelings.
Moon in Virgo.
I'm super organized,
therefore I want the world to be as such.
[chuckles] Right.
It stresses me out if it isn't.
I'm just smiling.
[Rodrigo] It's exactly what happens.
Is it wrong to be organized?
So, I get…
It's wrong wanting the world
to be like you.
Yes. If they are in my life, yes,
because it affects me.
Then it's like living with mirrors.
If I don't do what you want,
you don't like me anymore?
You want the person to be like you.
That's not a person, it's a mirror.
I notice some things already.
I'm loving it.
She's more organized.
[Paula] Growth already.
You see?
I feel like I'm on a leash.
If I get something, I rush to put it back.
Just thinking,
"My God, he can't think I'm messy."
I also have my point.
Sometimes I feel like saying,
"Hey, what about my side?"
Maybe it's something
that is important for you
-and he takes it for granted.
-That's right!
And he should give it
the importance she does.
What is important for you
that I take for granted?
So let me think.
It's not about being aware
I'm doing what you want,
but recognizing my positive side.
And if you can't see
anything positive in me…
That's it.
If you work on your feelings,
and if Day works on her being intimidated,
not speaking her mind…
invite me to the wedding?
Of course.
You already are. The first one.

To your dinner.
-Our dinner, honey.
-Yes, calm down.
It's ours, but you--
Because if it's not good,
it will be our fault.
You did it all. You were the chef.
I just stirred a bit. That's all.
Because Lissio likes to be pleasing
it's hard to know if he really liked it.
But I think that's cool about him.
Not for the cooking,
because I don't know if it was good.
Great salad.
I can say you're marriage material.
It's approved. You're ready.
-I'm marriage material because--
-We can marry.
…because I cook?
Let me check the dishes.
You are not marriage material.
I'll wake up at 5:00 a.m.
to do the dishes.
You'll be asleep.
Say what?
You'll do the dishes after sleeping?
I wanted you to get drunk
so you wouldn't see the dishes.
We made a deal.
She'd cook and I'd do the dishes.
You care if they stay until morning?
I can't stand seeing the sink like that.
One day, if she tells me to do the dishes
and I don't feel like it,
I'm sorry if she gets upset.
May I question your thing
about the dishes?
No.
I like feeling good where I live,
having it clean.
I see it as quality of life.
Tonight,
I'd like to have another priority.
Put my energy somewhere else.
Doing the dishes is not a priority.
Having a clean house
is not a priority for you?
Yes.
I noticed he's great at talking a lot.
Blah, blah, blah.
When there's a conflict,
he has his arguments ready
for his answer back.
You can't do both.
You really can't?
Or are you limiting yourself
to this binary thought?
I don't know.
I think this might come in the way.
We'll have to wait and see
if it's unbearable.
He'll know if it's unbearable.
17 DAYS TO THE WEDDINGS
[Shayan] What are you going to do?
Will you clean my face?
I will, my love.
Just let me…
I'm folding clothes.
They've been in the machine forever.
-Say what?
-Forever, yes.
What do you mean?
-They were there for too long.
-Were they?
I'll fold and then we can do skin care.
It's not a problem for me,
taking care of our home
if my partner is overwhelmed with work
or something else
and if I have free time.
What I can't accept
is if it is viewed as my obligation.
What are we doing later?
I told you, we have a barbecue
with the others.
Yeah?
Shortly by the way.
We'll have lunch with them.
I was working, very tense.
She gave me a facial massage.
Damn!
We do that in our daily life.
She gives me a massage if I'm tense…
or strokes my hair.
So your skin absorbs the cream.
Up.
I love that, man.
That's really cool.
We're like that all the time.
-[Dayanne] I'm so tired.
-[Rodrigo] Feeling lazy.
I wish I could l lie down all day,
but the dishes won't let me.
I'll work a bit.
Just to check a few things.
Right after the astrologist left
we had a serious conversation.
We both got hurt
because the truth hurts sometimes.
But we were able to understand each other.
We are still adapting.
We are still growing and learning.
We're different,
but we're learning with each other.
[Dayanne] I'm worried.
Because some things he said in the pod,
like him being loving,
present and a true partner,
he can't actually be.
He said something that really hurt me…
that he is all that,
but he couldn't be that with me.
What about our barbecue today?
It's been a while since I've had barbecue.
I miss it.
We're still in a weird mood but…
we have to see the silver lining.
And I'm the messy one.
I'll become a neat freak here.
I don't like feeling like that.
I like being myself.
It's hard when you feel a finger
is always pointed at you.
[Rodrigo] Are you ready?
[Dayanne] Almost.
I get ready quickly.
I can be quick too.
We were a bit tense, uneasy.
Do I look good?
Yes.
I never lived
with any other partner before.
She is a bit more needy.
She needs kissing and hugging…
We're still adapting. We will do our best.
Let me see you. You are so pretty!
[Dayanne] It's too early for us
to come to any conclusion.
Whatever I can do
to make this work, I will do.
[bossa nova music playing]
It's barbecue day for us all.
Brazilian barbecue.
-[Nanda] Cheers!
-[cheering]
To love!
-Self-love first.
-That's right! Above all.
[in Portuguese] One, two, three.
[in English] Better together!
[Ana Prado] I want gossip.
I want to know how things are.
-And you two?
-Well…
It's kind of… some ups and downs.
Well, it's living together.
Love me for who I am,
for my story, my personality.
-Or what do you want? Someone else?
-I said the same thing.
I can't be someone else.
It's very nice to talk to people
who understand what you're going through.
-Where's my ashtray?
-[Thiago] Come here.
No, baby, go over there.
-Come here.
-I'm smoking.
She starts smoking, out of nowhere,
which I obviously don't like.
You won't kiss me the rest of the party?
I'll brush my teeth later.
I hope so.
I feel pressured.
Quitting smoking
is a big challenge for me.
I love you. Thanks.
She said "I love you," out of nowhere.
I didn't get it.
Do you love me, baby?
I said it without even noticing it. Ouch.
Saying "I love you"
and not hearing it back is hard.
It doesn't mean I don't love her.
I'm just not ready
to say that precious sentence yet.
She just said, "I love you."
Look at her face.
He shows
that he loves me with his actions,
which is what matters.
She didn't mean to say it.
It came out spontaneously.
How nice.
I really love him. Fuck it.
So what's up?
I don't know, guys.
I can't pretend.
When we're good, everything is great.
When it's not, it's real shitty. You know?
Yes.
It hurts feeling like there's a finger
pointed at you all the time.
-No way.
-Pointing at your flaws.
Putting himself--
-…on a pedestal.
-Yes.
It's hard.
When you fall for someone
and then you lose admiration,
you didn't actually fall for them.
We had some issues too.
We have, actually. I understand you.
When things get heavy,
I step back, do my stuff, cool off.
Otherwise, it's an ego conflict.
If I get going, it's over.
There are some ups and downs
happening for everybody.
[samba music playing]
[Rodrigo] I'll get this one, seems good.
I see you eating this chicken
and you two share the same color.
I'll call you my little chicken.
-Come on, Lissio!
-My nugget.
You're kidding.
Tender.
I think we are a very… connected couple.
More than the others.
Who were your first dates?
-Mine was Alexis… I think?
-[Luana] Mine was Victor.
-Mine was Gustavo.
-[Novaes] Mine was Arthur.
Mack was first…
Every day he was first.
Oh!
Thiago had no doubt. Thiago was spot on.
"I want Nanda and that's it. "
I never had any doubts.
I was never between two loves.
Come on, Thiago, let me defend my friend.
Put her in her place.
Before she speaks.
Put me in my place?
Don't start.
You think that someone will ever put me
any place I don't want to be?
-Women's rights.
-Are you crazy?
I think it was very disrespectful.
You can't say these things.
First of all, it's an experiment,
so it's natural she was in doubt.
You were pure emotion.
Mack offered something
she idealized in life.
-A fake idealization.
-[Ana Prado] Do you understand?
-[Thiago] You name it!
-Shay is getting upset. Calm down.
It was what he told her.
[Novaes] Shay, why did you get mad?
I hate people who play dirty.
[all interrupting]
[exaggerated singing]
[all joining in]
I was giving my opinion
and people suddenly cut me off,
what I was saying.
I was a little upset.
Fernanda, that's disrespectful.
-I was talking.
-No, no, sorry. I'm sorry.
I joked around and all,
but I didn't feel free to speak up.
Speaking on top of one another…
people misunderstand.
We were just kidding. Come on, come on.
Someone who plays dirty
to get what they want
-is the wrong person.
-[Nanda] Right.
If I was looking for safety,
I'd look for a rich woman,
with a good job.
Do you mean I'm broke?
[Thiago] It's true, it's true.
We are too alike, that's what fucks us.
She's my female version, but worse.
Not worse. Me, worse?
Everything I've done
and everything you've done in life…
I wasn't comfortable with that.
I thought I was bad, but she…
[Luana] It's a very sexist world
and women always take the beating.
But I think it's all part
of our still ongoing evolution
as human beings.
I think we are on the way.
The fact that I'm questioning that
is an improvement already.
We're alike and that's scary.
[Rodrigo] Physically, even.
[Lissio] They do look alike.
They are alike indeed.
Hudson and I are different.
-We complement each other.
-Yes, we do.
Me and Luana, I don't know,
that's crazy stuff.
A psychologist
and a neurolinguistic programmer.
We have a lot to say.
We seem similar
but we are always debating.
-[Novaes] Yes.
-[Hudson] Rodrigo is quiet, huh?
I spoke a little.
We were both introspective.
Different from what they are used to.
I tried to joke about it.
A kitten got my tongue.
[all exclaiming]
He can't stay quiet. He can't do it.
[Lissio] Naughty.
[tense music playing]
[strumming tunelessly]
What are you doing?
Serenading.
Alcohol is in, truth is out.
What do you all talk about?
In the group chat.
The guys.
-About us, not you.
-And--
Nothing about you.
We don't even have a group chat, you know?
-How so?
-We don't.
Because we don't want any interference.
A game of telephone.
All the men know what they want.
-Do they?
-All of them.
-That's good.
-Women might be influenced.
[dramatic music playing]
Do you agree women are the weaker sex?
And can be influenced by friends,
their mother, other people?
Women are more honest, more truthful…
What kind of men
did you imagine for your life?
People don't always--
Did you want a womanizer?
Who had a life of debauchery?
Do you think that's cool?
I always imagined a calmer woman…
who didn't experience much, unlike me.
It scares me.
I know what I did and I wouldn't date me.
I wouldn't marry a woman
who's been around too much.
Knowing she's been with many men,
it's just too much.
It's sexist, you know?
We fuck around. Fuck it.
-We want to hook up.
-Alcohol in, truth out.
No, I mean it.
I know I'm ready to marry now.
But I don't think it's a good idea
spilling the beans on our past
in this sexist world.
[Nanda] I notice a very sexist view
and it bothers me.
I'm a bit scared
because it's not what I hoped for.
No one better than me
to know my own past, how I behaved.
I think we have enough time
for him to open his mind
and realize it's not about the experiences
he thinks I had and were crazy.
I don't let this discomfort grow.
What I felt with you was very strong
and different from what I felt before.
On the other hand, we have our past
and what we want moving on.
You're what I always wanted,
open-minded, progressive,
joyful, outgoing, funny.
To get to 100%,
I just need to get over the past…
-This.
-Yes.
Will you?
I don't know, but I'll be honest with you.
-I won't hide it.
-Me too.
-Exactly.
-Will I be able to also?
Women come to me and say I represent them.
"You're a strong woman…
and you're free from taboos,
from standards."
But I like to be there for people,
to take care of them,
to love,
and I know I'm great marriage material.
We're not scared of speaking our mind.
It's what I'm asking myself,
trying to answer.
If it's really all that.
Do you think
you'll have all the answers in…
-No, I don't, but I will--
-…a few weeks?
I won't fool myself.
It's the only thing
keeping me from saying yes.
I try to get over that. Work on the doubt.
I don't know if I'll be able to.
If we're not okay within,
we can't move on.
No matter what, we will be friends.
-I will not be friends. No.
-You won't?
-Friends with benefits?
-Fuck off.
Why's that? Why is it different?
Everything!
The experience, our life, feelings,
it is all different.
I've become friends
with girls I hooked up with before.
I'm not a girl
that you've "hooked up with."
I'm very different.
If in the end it doesn't work,
then you are a girl I've hooked up with.
-Fuck off.
-You are stressed out today.
You should mind your words
so this doesn't get worse.
Go take a shower and cool off.
[dramatic music playing]
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
[Nanda] Sadness, misjudgment, doubts,
they all come hard.
[Thiago] I want to know
if she really has good hands.
-Do you charge for that?
-Of course I do.
It's going so smoothly
that she's insecure.
[Dayanne] That's the question
I ask the most.
What is real and what isn't?
[Ana Prado] I'm an independent woman.
I don't depend on anyone.
[Novaes] Did you actually have feelings?
[Dayanne] I wasn't comfortable.
I could barely look in his eyes.
I looked
and I saw only lies.

[somber music playing]
DAYANNE AND RODRIGO'S
APARTMENT
I'll teach you my tactics
to keep it organized.
What is it?
If you used it,
you put it back or wash it.
It's really annoying
having to do what others want.
You got it, but won't use it? Put it back.
I put it back!
But I get it folded
and return it like this.
But I'll be better.
Do that with your things.
If they are messy,
but in the right place, it's okay.
In the right place.
I think that…. You mean my things, right?
No, I won't make a mess
with your things. Relax.
I think there's a billboard in his head
in capital letters like, "Help me!"
-I'll start with my duties, trash first.
-Very good!
If that's too much…
That I know how to do.

-To our new home?
-To our new home.

LUANA AND LISSIO'S
APARTMENT
Oh, my God! So beautiful!
[exclaims] I'm going to cry.
There's no balcony.
I can't smoke on the balcony.
Forget it.
Thiago didn't want me to smoke.
Done, we get an apartment
without a balcony.
I forbid her
to smoke inside our apartment.
There's no room for negotiation.
If she smokes, I'm out.
You have to go down there to smoke.
While you're there,
I'll throw a water bucket on you
so you know I'm watching you.
Smoking is one of our biggest problems.
He has to respect my will too.
Even if I'm wrong or not. It's my will.
[Thiago] How will our life be now?
You'll choose your phone over me.
Love, unpack first.
It will be complicated.
-A lot going on?
-I didn't even look yet.
[Nanda] Ouch!
Cellphones can ruin everything.
Oh, my God!

Yes, it even smells like you.
Look at me, so pretty striking a pose.
I was definitely not ashamed
of telling Hudson who I am.
Now I'm showing him my house,
which is very simple. It's great.
-I thought your mom would be here.
-No, she's working.
-Will I meet her?
-I don't know.
-Of course! You have to.
-Definitely.
If my mom dislikes Hudson,
which I think would be hard,
it will weigh me down.
Now, my room.
[Hudson] The room.
-There has to be a jaguar pattern.
-Pink and jaguars.
-Always jaguars.
-I love jaguars. My cactus.
Very nice getting to see her place.
Next stop, my parents' house.
I'm sure it will be a beautiful moment.
I'm looking forward to it.
[mimics drumroll]
[Shayan] I want to see your house.
[Ana Prado] Welcome to my home!
-So cute!
-My plants aren't here.
-Where are they?
-This is my home.
There were plants here and there.
There were plants everywhere.
-Then you'll have to set them up.
-Exactly.
It hasn't been long since you moved.
It's a very important step
to show him my place,
to show him my things.
It makes Shay understand me more.
My story.
Here is my baby.
Mommy's beautiful girl. Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Mommy and baby girl.
You're both beautiful.
Some friends.
Antonela's room will be here.
Uh-huh.
Her house is very little.
For a mother and a daughter.
You can see the toys.
They'll need to adapt things now with me.
Because the light was too low,
it hit me in the face.
But the house is pretty.
What now? Will you live with me
or will I live with you?
Can we talk about that later on?
-Sure. Or we can see…
-How do you feel about it?
-I don't mind either way.
-You don't mind?
I only care about us being together.
I don't want to make plans just yet.
Because I want you and Antonela
to meet first.
Yes, we need to know each other.
-You need to love each other.
-True.
The love between mother and daughter
is the greatest of all.
So I understand her.
-There are a lot of clothes to wash.
-I have a lot of clothes to wash.
-Me too.
-A lot of clothes!
You know I have a problem with that.
Yeah. You know it will be the two of us.
There won't be anyone else
to organize our stuff, right?
Yes. Okay, we'll find a way.
Shay, honey, I love you.
However, you'll wash your own underwear.
I won't wash underwear! There's no way.
-All right, I'll do it.
-You do it, for God's sake, darling.
I always did it,
since I lived with my parents.
My dad always told me
to wash my own stuff.
Like, I always had two pairs of underwear.
-I'd wash one and wear…
-[music distorts]
-[chuckles] No, I'm just kidding.
-I know.
-I have lots of them.
-Now you said it.
[Shayan laughing]
She was like "What!"
I told her
I lived with two pairs of underwear.
"Why? What's the matter?"
She knows I was kidding.
Underwear is a very intimate thing.
Like a toothbrush.
Is there something that annoys you?
Like day-to-day stuff?
Something you can't stand?
Our living together…
Like, "Don't do it. I'll get mad."
I hope you don't treat me badly.
I'll treat you well, even if I'm mad.
I'll treat you well.
I won't scream at you.
I'll treat you with respect.
I hope you act the same way.
It's the only thing
that could get in the way.
That's all.
I don't like disrespect.
No doubt that if she shouts at me…
It'll be just once
and I'll get out and leave.
For anything else,
looking at you now, I think we're good.
He'll have to put up with me
and I'll have to put up with him.
We'll have to manage our way
into this relationship.
Can you make some notes about your PMS?
When I'm PMS-ing, I am more quiet.
A bit antisocial.
Can I set an alarm for it?
If I'm PMS-ing and you think I'm PMS-ing,
never ask if I'm PMS-ing.
-Oh, God!
-Wait for me to tell you.
Good thing you'll have one
before we marry.
I need to know that person.
What's that? Is it a threat, babe?
Not a threat, on the contrary.
I'm relieved
we'll go through one before marriage.
I usually work on it myself.
Relax.

-Hi!
Oh, my God, I'm so nervous.
Don't cry, Mom!
-I'll say hi to them first, okay?
-Of course!
Hi, Son.
-I miss you so much!
-So much!
Good to see you.
On the first look
I helplessly started crying.
My parents too.
I was relieved
with the way they looked at Carol.
I was very pleased with this encounter.
I think it will be great.
Where are you from, Carol?
I live in Itaquera, I'm from São Paulo.
All right. Not very far.
[Novaes] No, nearby.
They are smiling, treating me well.
I was very welcome. I'm feeling at home.
We hope to get along well.
I'm happy.
My son is happy.
It's important that he is happy.
You're so nice. You're beautiful.
We'd do anything for our son.

We think she's a beautiful Black girl.
Stylish, lovable.
She has a beautiful smile.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Are you ready
for me leaving home for good?
Or not?
Your heart… No crying!
Look at her eyes. Look at them!
We don't raise kids for ourselves.
It's a mix of feelings.
I miss him. I feel emotional.
I want to hold him close.
Like, "Son, be happy!"
I think my mom is worried already.
About having a honeymoon, the sex…
I don't know how she feels.
We didn't do anything.
-No?
-No.
Good. Then she'll think it's all good.
My mom too.
We went there to meet each other.
We had fun, right?
I'm a little worried
that I'll have to leave them.
It's life though.
I'll always be there.
I'll be close.
[phone ringing]
Hi, Mom!
-Hi, Son!
-How's everything?
I miss you a lot, my son.
I miss you too, Mom.
Look here, Nanda.
Look at your daughter-in-law.
-Hi.
-Hi!
-How are you?
-So beautiful!
-Nice meeting you!
-Nice meeting you too.
I want to meet you in person.
-Me too.
-She's beautiful, right, Mom?
Beautiful!
We were very emotional,
missing each other.
I told Nanda my mom always asked me
for a daughter-in-law.
So you're together now,
just you two in there?
MÁRCIA DE JESUS, 69
THIAGO'S MOTHER
If we don't kill each other in 30 days,

Yeah.
My mom and Nanda will get along well.

with lots of love to give.
[upbeat music playing]
-Hey!
-Hello!
Oh, my God, here are my kids!
Hi, how are you?
Nice to meet you. I'm Ana.
How are you?
[Shayan] I have two friends
that live with me
that I consider as my adopted children.
It's been a year and a few months
since they are here in Brazil.
-Come, let's see if you'll like my house.
-Excuse me.
Our living room.
Here's the kitchen.
[Ana Prado] I've never seen a house
where three men live
so well organized and so clean.
They should be congratulated.
Now I need to tell you something.
That me and Ana
are going to live together.
Really?
It'll be just you two now.
We won't live together anymore.
I'll get my things, little by little,
to live with her.
You two need to adapt. To live alone.
-Okay.
-"Okay"?
Okay, then.
What?
No, I'm joking.
We'll live together for a while,
and we'll see how it goes.
We'll see. We'll see. We're engaged now.
We'll see if we get married.
-If we'll put a ring on the right finger.
-Right.
We'll go to Iran with everybody.
Yes, I'm still trying
to learn a few things.
Like the customs.
Are you afraid of your mother-in-law?
-[gasps] No.
-[all laughing]
-[man 1] Be honest.
-It's cool.
I'm actually afraid of his father.
-Oh, my God.
-[all laughing]
Stop, guys! You're making me nervous.
You know, baby,
you chose the wrong person.
-No, of course you chose the right person.
-Well…
I know, my love.
-Did you regret it? Did you?
-No. Not at all. Not at all.

CAROLINA AND HUDSON'S
APARTMENT
Wow!
Right foot first, love.
[gasps] So beautiful!
What a beautiful flat.
We really liked it.
The decoration matches us.
Our home! It's our home, Carolina!
-We talked through a pod.
-Oh, man.
I didn't even know who you were.
And now we're in bed, in our home.
We're feeling at home here.
I'm feeling good
knowing we have a home together.
Hi, Mom! [cries]
Good morning!
I miss you so much!
I miss you too, baby.
I love you! I'll call you later. Bye.
-Let me see my son-in-law.
-"Let me see…" Ended call.
I didn't want to show Hudson.
If he's insecure about that…
I don't think so. It has to be a surprise.
[mellow music playing]
I started the day in shock
when I saw her house, her real life.
But we can have a new start
in our new home,
with everything clean and organized.
Are you hungry?
Very hungry, and it looks delicious.
[Rodrigo] Today I wanted to show Day
a bit of my culture as a Jew.
The types of food,
such as falafel, schnitzel…
-Delicious.
-Try this one after.
This is a falafel. Get one and try it.
I didn't like this one.
I'm very sincere.
I thought it was great.
He was thoughtful
and it makes it all special.
-Let's talk marriage.
-Okay.
What's the problem?
My mom has 16 siblings.
All married. They all have kids.
So how am I supposed to invite one
and not invite the others?
We can do like…
We both don't invite them.
We made a deal.
It isn't a normal marriage
where everyone is invited.
My family is very emotional.
You don't get how much.
He's very practical
and I'm sentimental.
I'm starting to get desperate.
Whoever is there
is going to represent the others.
All our friends. It'll be amazing.
There will be us.
[mock groans]
So amazing!
-Okay, stay calm. Check.
-Yeah.
[phone chiming rapidly]
[continues chiming]
Oh, my God!
What's that? Oh, my goodness.
[phone continues chiming]
What's up?
-My cellphone is overwhelmed too.
-Look at that!
We got our cellphones
and there were tons of messages.
People didn't know where we were.
I saw a bunch of messages
from my patients.
Your patients?
That's all you saw? Patients?
Not a crush?
-I saw some.
-Your former crush, okay?
-Yes, I saw it.
-Former.
The important thing
is that I'm the only one now.
From now on, it's just me.
"I'm with someone else now." [kisses]
"Thanks. Bye!"
I have no problem saying that.
-Me neither--
-I wasn't in love with anyone.
…but it'd take a while.
-No, but…
-Come on, Lissio.
Not replying is an answer.
Do you trust me?
-Not even a little?
-I trust you.
-I do.
-You trust me a little.
-A little, yes.
-A little, please.
From this little to a lot.
I don't want you saying,
"I got a message from this girl."
It's unnecessary
and it would make me uncomfortable.
Yes. Yes. All right.
But I want you to act
according to your conscience.
I will. And you have to trust me.
For now, I'll let him be.
I'll let him be who he is
and I'll observe it.
I expect him to be aware,
to have maturity and reciprocity.
22 DAYS TO THE WEDDINGS
[cellphone ringing]
[Shayan] My mom is calling.
-Momma.
-Ouch, momma-in-law.
Uh-huh, I'm gonna answer it.
Hello.
[Shayan and Shayan's mom speaking Persian]
I picked up, she asked what I was doing.
I said,
"I'm here with your daughter-in-law."
Say, "Salaam, chetori?"
Salaam, chetori?
My heart was pounding… [mimics heartbeat]
[Shayan's mom laughing, speaking Persian]
-Hi.
-She is asking if you are well.
Say, "Khoobam."
Khoobam.
-"To chetori."
-To chetori.
[Shayan's mom replies]
I talked to my mother-in-law a little,
even though
I don't know what she said back.
Shay said it was only good things.
I rather believe him.
-"Dooset daaram."
-Dooset daaram.
[Shayan's mom responding in Persian]
-What did I say?
-You said you love her.
[squeals]
Tell her that her son
is very special to me.
I'll do my best to take care of him.
[speaking Persian]
[Shayan's mom responds]
-She wants to see you.
-Now? We're in bed!
It's not a good idea.
You know? She is a bit conservative.
[speaking Persian]
[in English] I told her we were in bed,
messy hair, you know?
"Send me a photo." I said, "No,
eventually you will meet her."
I want to see
if I'll have space for my clothes.
-Yes, I left a lot of space.
-You did, huh?
-Sneakers, shoes…
-No need, love.
-I'll go shopping. I'll be back.
-All right.
[electropop music playing]
[screaming]
It wasn't long since we saw each other.
Mom is here for your rescue.
[Ana Prado] However,
during this experiment…
[laughs] …it seems like
I've been here for decades.
Take a look.
Oh, my God! A ring!
-[Ana Prado] Ring and all.
-[Ana's mom] Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
I think I'm nervous.
[Ana Prado] It's serious now.
And how is he?
He's an amazing person.
It was crazy what happened between us.
We didn't talk much.
It was like 10 minutes on our first date.
I don't know what happened.
When we talked…
My daughter is fine.
She is radiant, she's happy.
It's not usual.
-It's totally different.
-Fast like that?
Mom, it was…
I don't know how to explain.
If she's happy and fine, we accept it.
It's great.
We'll stand by her, no matter what.
-Hello!
-Hi!
Is this Shay?
Is this your momma?
-Hi. How are you?
-Wow, so tall!
-Nice to meet you. Momma-in-law.
-How are you, Shay? Nice meeting you. Wow.
I told you so.
I saw you already.
She showed me your picture.
-[squeals]
-[laughs]
You two make a beautiful couple.
We were saying that.
By the way,
I'm about to cook something for you.
-Really?
-A Persian kebab.
[gasps]
If I manage to win her over,
the rest of the family is in.
Tell me, what made you come to Brazil?
I met a Brazilian girl
through the internet. Then I came.
[Ana Prado] She asked him
a lot of questions.
She was testing him
to see how he would react.
I know my mom.
Does your family know Ana has a daughter?
We still didn't talk much.
We didn't have a lot of conversation.
We just talked…
What do you think they will think?
My family is very traditional.
But it's a bit different with me.
I talk to them a lot, so…
-I do whatever I want, kind of.
-Yes.
The cultural difference
is what worries me.
I don't know how things are in Iran but…
She's a free woman, a feminist.
Ana Carolina has a very strong will.
-Salamati.
-Salamati.
[Shayan] Right.
[Ana Prado] Mmm.
Good, right?
I admire her.
She has a beautiful marriage and story.
I really like her mom.
I really wish
that my daughters
get to have a great partner.
A great companion.
A love that they are proud of.
And that they want to…
They get to live by.
She really looks up to me and my husband.
And I hope she gets to have that.
I really do.
[upbeat music playing]
Good morning… Good afternoon!
Mom, did you get emotional
thinking about me these days?
A lot, my son. So much.
Did you cry a little?
I did.
Everyone… We all did.
I really want them to be part
of the context I'm living in.
Look, this is Luana.
-Hi!
-Oi.
How are you?
She is the one with the other ring.
I can't even… I'm trembling.
-I think she is more nervous…
-We are too.
She's more nervous than you.
-That's Junior.
-She's crying.
I'm going to cry too.
I think about my mom.
This is not because of jealousy.
It's not about sharing my son.
On the contrary.
It's because
he found someone for the rest of his life.
I loved meeting you.
Oh…
Thank you. I feel the same.
God be with you.
May you add more to our lives!
Amen! To add up, to overflow.
It'll be great, I hope.
[Lissio's sister] Add some babies.
Oh, my God!
Your sister wants nephews and nieces.
We didn't even say I love you.
My sister already wants babies.
All in due time.
But I hope it won't take long.
God be with you.
-God bless.
-Bye, God bless you.
I was thinking…
When I introduce him to my family,
I'm going to cry a lot.
You'll meet him now…
My fiancé.
How are you? Nice meeting you.
[Luana's brother] The first time
I hear her say
she's in love with someone.
He knows I'm picky.
She even has a ring,
saying she's about to marry…
My God!
I did think her brother would be like her.
I was caught off guard,
because we used to say, at least I did,
this girl is never going to marry anyone.
My brother thought I'd never get married
because I didn't introduce anyone
to my family.
This must have shocked him,
because I always dodged this conversation.
-Love you! Kisses.
-Bye, guys.
-Nice meeting you.
-Good luck.
Today is…
getting emotional.
[mellow music playing]
Did you take a shower?
Are you cooking for us? First lunch.
-I don't know if it's lunch or dinner.
-First time cooking for me.
-Need help?
-Do you want to chop the onions?
No, I want to see your… culinary skills.
I don't like cooking,
and having to cook for him…
Not that I didn't cook before,
but not for him.
I'm feeling good,
but I already told him
it'll take hours for a simple risotto.
What can I do to help?
-I'll make it easy for you.
-Do you know how to clean crayfish?
Of course!
I wanted to help out.
I could see she was a little nervous.
A little lost.
I can't cook very well either,
but I think together
we can cook something really good.
You didn't clean the crayfish,
you destroyed it.
I'm helping you, doing you a favor
and you're… complaining.
I'm just saying.
Showing your true self
in our first lunch together.
[Nanda laughs]
All you do is complain.
[Nanda] God damn.
I want him to understand that
a relationship
is not only about good moments.
I am okay showing that part of me,
the bad one.
♪ Home cooking ♪
This risotto is splendid.
I didn't know you could cook.
I know how to cook.
I'll do whatever you want.
It'll take four hours but it'll be good.
[jazz music playing]
[Hudson] We'll have Japanese today.
I'll make it because she likes it.
I know how.
I hope it's surprising for her.
What about your cellphone?
Are you cool with it?
For me it's okay, and you?
I don't know. I'm feeling…
-How was the feeling?
-I think I'm cool now.
But it felt a bit weird, you know?
Did you get any romantic texts?
Baby, we didn't come here
because we were dating.
Hmm.
So, there were girls who texted me.
Are you going to reply?
I'll be polite and tell them
I'm with an amazing woman now.
Like, "You lost, darling."
[upbeat music playing]
[Novaes] I have to say
I don't like cooking.
I'm doing something,
pretending I'm cooking.
Convincing.
I'm helping you organize,
because I won't wash dishes at night.
Help me until I start making them.
The rest is up to me.

When I saw what he did,
I was like "Wow."
"He really knows it."
We barely talked
about how it's going to be after this.
I joked with my mom,
"What if I don't come back home?"
You said that?
My father says, "Are you crazy?
"Getting married in 20 days is a joke."
-That's true.
-My father is…
At least it's not affecting you.
-I know my father.
-So…
The least he could do is ask,
"Are you happy, my daughter?"
That's who I am.
What can they do to change it?
Nothing.
No. We know the relationship
with her father is not the best.
It can, somehow, affect my family.
But that's the price to pay.
Let's see how much I can handle,
between what my parents think
and my love for Carol.
I think my parents will be worried.
Like, "You're married. Now what?"
"Where will you go? What will you do?"
-Yes, your mom…
-Now you saw. My mom can be like that.
After she said goodbye, she said,
"Son, take good care of her."
In her heart, it's like…
It's all settled.
But she'd say something
if I married and stayed at home.
"You're a grown man.
Take care of yourself."
I know things are…
At least in my work field,
it is getting better.
I have my contacts,
people I've worked with,
so I'm not so worried
about not having a job.
I worry, but not much.
It would be a problem for me,
having to pay all the bills alone.
If I didn't see him try hard.
If he woke up late,
or if he didn't send out his CV…
then I'd be worried.
That's why I say we need to be
understanding of where we are.
Oh, Hudson, Hudson…
20 DAYS TO THE WEDDINGS
-Hi! How are you?
-How are you?
Day and I are facing some challenges
regarding living together.
We came up with the idea
of hiring an astrologist.
-I'm Paula.
-Rodrigo.
-Please, come this way.
-Welcome.
-Thank you.
-We set the table for you.
We want to know
if we are compatible or not,
what we can do better, as a couple.
So, I brought this rose quartz,
the love crystal,
-to be with us.
-Ah!
We'll see about potentialities, challenges
which are very important
for us to grow and evolve.
Although it hasn't been long,
I feel that there are conflicts
arising for us both.
And that is upsetting me.
In Aquarius
we have someone who cares about friends.
The guy who goes on a honeymoon
and tells his friends,
"Guys, look where I am."
Amazing! I love it. Exactly.
[Paula] "Let's go, guys!"
And here we have a romantic woman.
It's good to have common sense,
to be social, with friends,
but also checking in on Day.
You know?
He thinks about himself too much
and forgets I am there, forgets to see me.
Regarding feelings,
it's a challenge for Rodrigo…
to open up a bit more.
-That's right.
-I'm bad at that, indeed.
People that know me
think my life is perfect
and that I'm always smiling, happy.
Because I don't always
express my feelings.
Day may feel upset.
Sometimes she'll express it,
sometimes she won't.
There's how communication can fail.
In life I can be very practical,
but not with feelings.
Moon in Virgo.
I'm super organized,
therefore I want the world to be as such.
[chuckles] Right.
It stresses me out if it isn't.
I'm just smiling.
[Rodrigo] It's exactly what happens.
Is it wrong to be organized?
So, I get…
It's wrong wanting the world
to be like you.
Yes. If they are in my life, yes,
because it affects me.
Then it's like living with mirrors.
If I don't do what you want,
you don't like me anymore?
You want the person to be like you.
That's not a person, it's a mirror.
I notice some things already.
I'm loving it.
She's more organized.
[Paula] Growth already.
You see?
I feel like I'm on a leash.
If I get something, I rush to put it back.
Just thinking,
"My God, he can't think I'm messy."
I also have my point.
Sometimes I feel like saying,
"Hey, what about my side?"
Maybe it's something
that is important for you
-and he takes it for granted.
-That's right!
And he should give it
the importance she does.
What is important for you
that I take for granted?
So let me think.
It's not about being aware
I'm doing what you want,
but recognizing my positive side.
And if you can't see
anything positive in me…
That's it.
If you work on your feelings,
and if Day works on her being intimidated,
not speaking her mind…
invite me to the wedding?
Of course.
You already are. The first one.
♪ I remember ♪
♪ What you told me last November ♪
♪ When you said that I would never ♪
♪ Find nobody better ♪
To your dinner.
-Our dinner, honey.
-Yes, calm down.
It's ours, but you--
Because if it's not good,
it will be our fault.
You did it all. You were the chef.
I just stirred a bit. That's all.
Because Lissio likes to be pleasing
it's hard to know if he really liked it.
But I think that's cool about him.
Not for the cooking,
because I don't know if it was good.
Great salad.
I can say you're marriage material.
It's approved. You're ready.
-I'm marriage material because--
-We can marry.
…because I cook?
Let me check the dishes.
You are not marriage material.
I'll wake up at 5:00 a.m.
to do the dishes.
You'll be asleep.
Say what?
You'll do the dishes after sleeping?
I wanted you to get drunk
so you wouldn't see the dishes.
We made a deal.
She'd cook and I'd do the dishes.
You care if they stay until morning?
I can't stand seeing the sink like that.
One day, if she tells me to do the dishes
and I don't feel like it,
I'm sorry if she gets upset.
May I question your thing
about the dishes?
No.
I like feeling good where I live,
having it clean.
I see it as quality of life.
Tonight,
I'd like to have another priority.
Put my energy somewhere else.
Doing the dishes is not a priority.
Having a clean house
is not a priority for you?
Yes.
I noticed he's great at talking a lot.
Blah, blah, blah.
When there's a conflict,
he has his arguments ready
for his answer back.
You can't do both.
You really can't?
Or are you limiting yourself
to this binary thought?
I don't know.
I think this might come in the way.
We'll have to wait and see
if it's unbearable.
He'll know if it's unbearable.
17 DAYS TO THE WEDDINGS
[Shayan] What are you going to do?
Will you clean my face?
I will, my love.
Just let me…
I'm folding clothes.
They've been in the machine forever.
-Say what?
-Forever, yes.
What do you mean?
-They were there for too long.
-Were they?
I'll fold and then we can do skin care.
It's not a problem for me,
taking care of our home
if my partner is overwhelmed with work
or something else
and if I have free time.
What I can't accept
is if it is viewed as my obligation.
What are we doing later?
I told you, we have a barbecue
with the others.
Yeah?
Shortly by the way.
We'll have lunch with them.
I was working, very tense.
She gave me a facial massage.
Damn!
We do that in our daily life.
She gives me a massage if I'm tense…
or strokes my hair.
So your skin absorbs the cream.
Up.
I love that, man.
That's really cool.
We're like that all the time.
-[Dayanne] I'm so tired.
-[Rodrigo] Feeling lazy.
I wish I could l lie down all day,
but the dishes won't let me.
I'll work a bit.
Just to check a few things.
Right after the astrologist left
we had a serious conversation.
We both got hurt
because the truth hurts sometimes.
But we were able to understand each other.
We are still adapting.
We are still growing and learning.
We're different,
but we're learning with each other.
[Dayanne] I'm worried.
Because some things he said in the pod,
like him being loving,
present and a true partner,
he can't actually be.
He said something that really hurt me…
that he is all that,
but he couldn't be that with me.
What about our barbecue today?
It's been a while since I've had barbecue.
I miss it.
We're still in a weird mood but…
we have to see the silver lining.
And I'm the messy one.
I'll become a neat freak here.
I don't like feeling like that.
I like being myself.
It's hard when you feel a finger
is always pointed at you.
[Rodrigo] Are you ready?
[Dayanne] Almost.
I get ready quickly.
I can be quick too.
We were a bit tense, uneasy.
Do I look good?
Yes.
I never lived
with any other partner before.
She is a bit more needy.
She needs kissing and hugging…
We're still adapting. We will do our best.
Let me see you. You are so pretty!
[Dayanne] It's too early for us
to come to any conclusion.
Whatever I can do
to make this work, I will do.
[bossa nova music playing]
It's barbecue day for us all.
Brazilian barbecue.
-[Nanda] Cheers!
-[cheering]
To love!
-Self-love first.
-That's right! Above all.
[in Portuguese] One, two, three.
[in English] Better together!
[Ana Prado] I want gossip.
I want to know how things are.
-And you two?
-Well…
It's kind of… some ups and downs.
Well, it's living together.
Love me for who I am,
for my story, my personality.
-Or what do you want? Someone else?
-I said the same thing.
I can't be someone else.
It's very nice to talk to people
who understand what you're going through.
-Where's my ashtray?
-[Thiago] Come here.
No, baby, go over there.
-Come here.
-I'm smoking.
She starts smoking, out of nowhere,
which I obviously don't like.
You won't kiss me the rest of the party?
I'll brush my teeth later.
I hope so.
I feel pressured.
Quitting smoking
is a big challenge for me.
I love you. Thanks.
She said "I love you," out of nowhere.
I didn't get it.
Do you love me, baby?
I said it without even noticing it. Ouch.
Saying "I love you"
and not hearing it back is hard.
It doesn't mean I don't love her.
I'm just not ready
to say that precious sentence yet.
She just said, "I love you."
Look at her face.
He shows
that he loves me with his actions,
which is what matters.
She didn't mean to say it.
It came out spontaneously.
How nice.
I really love him. Fuck it.
So what's up?
I don't know, guys.
I can't pretend.
When we're good, everything is great.
When it's not, it's real shitty. You know?
Yes.
It hurts feeling like there's a finger
pointed at you all the time.
-No way.
-Pointing at your flaws.
Putting himself--
-…on a pedestal.
-Yes.
It's hard.
When you fall for someone
and then you lose admiration,
you didn't actually fall for them.
We had some issues too.
We have, actually. I understand you.
When things get heavy,
I step back, do my stuff, cool off.
Otherwise, it's an ego conflict.
If I get going, it's over.
There are some ups and downs
happening for everybody.
[samba music playing]
[Rodrigo] I'll get this one, seems good.
I see you eating this chicken
and you two share the same color.
I'll call you my little chicken.
-Come on, Lissio!
-My nugget.
You're kidding.
Tender.
I think we are a very… connected couple.
More than the others.
Who were your first dates?
-Mine was Alexis… I think?
-[Luana] Mine was Victor.
-Mine was Gustavo.
-[Novaes] Mine was Arthur.
Mack was first…
Every day he was first.
Oh!
Thiago had no doubt. Thiago was spot on.
"I want Nanda and that's it. "
I never had any doubts.
I was never between two loves.
Come on, Thiago, let me defend my friend.
Put her in her place.
Before she speaks.
Put me in my place?
Don't start.
You think that someone will ever put me
any place I don't want to be?
-Women's rights.
-Are you crazy?
I think it was very disrespectful.
You can't say these things.
First of all, it's an experiment,
so it's natural she was in doubt.
You were pure emotion.
Mack offered something
she idealized in life.
-A fake idealization.
-[Ana Prado] Do you understand?
-[Thiago] You name it!
-Shay is getting upset. Calm down.
It was what he told her.
[Novaes] Shay, why did you get mad?
I hate people who play dirty.
[all interrupting]
[exaggerated singing]
[all joining in]
I was giving my opinion
and people suddenly cut me off,
what I was saying.
I was a little upset.
Fernanda, that's disrespectful.
-I was talking.
-No, no, sorry. I'm sorry.
I joked around and all,
but I didn't feel free to speak up.
Speaking on top of one another…
people misunderstand.
We were just kidding. Come on, come on.
Someone who plays dirty
to get what they want
-is the wrong person.
-[Nanda] Right.
If I was looking for safety,
I'd look for a rich woman,
with a good job.
Do you mean I'm broke?
[Thiago] It's true, it's true.
We are too alike, that's what fucks us.
She's my female version, but worse.
Not worse. Me, worse?
Everything I've done
and everything you've done in life…
I wasn't comfortable with that.
I thought I was bad, but she…
[Luana] It's a very sexist world
and women always take the beating.
But I think it's all part
of our still ongoing evolution
as human beings.
I think we are on the way.
The fact that I'm questioning that
is an improvement already.
We're alike and that's scary.
[Rodrigo] Physically, even.
[Lissio] They do look alike.
They are alike indeed.
Hudson and I are different.
-We complement each other.
-Yes, we do.
Me and Luana, I don't know,
that's crazy stuff.
A psychologist
and a neurolinguistic programmer.
We have a lot to say.
We seem similar
but we are always debating.
-[Novaes] Yes.
-[Hudson] Rodrigo is quiet, huh?
I spoke a little.
We were both introspective.
Different from what they are used to.
I tried to joke about it.
A kitten got my tongue.
[all exclaiming]
He can't stay quiet. He can't do it.
[Lissio] Naughty.
[tense music playing]
[strumming tunelessly]
What are you doing?
Serenading.
Alcohol is in, truth is out.
What do you all talk about?
In the group chat.
The guys.
-About us, not you.
-And--
Nothing about you.
We don't even have a group chat, you know?
-How so?
-We don't.
Because we don't want any interference.
A game of telephone.
All the men know what they want.
-Do they?
-All of them.
-That's good.
-Women might be influenced.
[dramatic music playing]
Do you agree women are the weaker sex?
And can be influenced by friends,
their mother, other people?
Women are more honest, more truthful…
What kind of men
did you imagine for your life?
People don't always--
Did you want a womanizer?
Who had a life of debauchery?
Do you think that's cool?
I always imagined a calmer woman…
who didn't experience much, unlike me.
It scares me.
I know what I did and I wouldn't date me.
I wouldn't marry a woman
who's been around too much.
Knowing she's been with many men,
it's just too much.
It's sexist, you know?
We fuck around. Fuck it.
-We want to hook up.
-Alcohol in, truth out.
No, I mean it.
I know I'm ready to marry now.
But I don't think it's a good idea
spilling the beans on our past
in this sexist world.
[Nanda] I notice a very sexist view
and it bothers me.
I'm a bit scared
because it's not what I hoped for.
No one better than me
to know my own past, how I behaved.
I think we have enough time
for him to open his mind
and realize it's not about the experiences
he thinks I had and were crazy.
I don't let this discomfort grow.
What I felt with you was very strong
and different from what I felt before.
On the other hand, we have our past
and what we want moving on.
You're what I always wanted,
open-minded, progressive,
joyful, outgoing, funny.
To get to 100%,
I just need to get over the past…
-This.
-Yes.
Will you?
I don't know, but I'll be honest with you.
-I won't hide it.
-Me too.
-Exactly.
-Will I be able to also?
Women come to me and say I represent them.
"You're a strong woman…
and you're free from taboos,
from standards."
But I like to be there for people,
to take care of them,
to love,
and I know I'm great marriage material.
We're not scared of speaking our mind.
It's what I'm asking myself,
trying to answer.
If it's really all that.
Do you think
you'll have all the answers in…
-No, I don't, but I will--
-…a few weeks?
I won't fool myself.
It's the only thing
keeping me from saying yes.
I try to get over that. Work on the doubt.
I don't know if I'll be able to.
If we're not okay within,
we can't move on.
No matter what, we will be friends.
-I will not be friends. No.
-You won't?
-Friends with benefits?
-Fuck off.
Why's that? Why is it different?
Everything!
The experience, our life, feelings,
it is all different.
I've become friends
with girls I hooked up with before.
I'm not a girl
that you've "hooked up with."
I'm very different.
If in the end it doesn't work,
then you are a girl I've hooked up with.
-Fuck off.
-You are stressed out today.
You should mind your words
so this doesn't get worse.
Go take a shower and cool off.
[dramatic music playing]
IN THE NEXT EPISODE
[Nanda] Sadness, misjudgment, doubts,
they all come hard.
[Thiago] I want to know
if she really has good hands.
-Do you charge for that?
-Of course I do.
It's going so smoothly
that she's insecure.
[Dayanne] That's the question
I ask the most.
What is real and what isn't?
[Ana Prado] I'm an independent woman.
I don't depend on anyone.
[Novaes] Did you actually have feelings?
[Dayanne] I wasn't comfortable.
I could barely look in his eyes.
I looked
and I saw only lies.
